check area around servo is not filled with water caused by blocked drain tube below battery
also check the plastic vac pipes for leaks or loose at its connection with vac pump

check your rear brakes are not binding onto the drums,i had similar problem and i just taped the drums on the inside with a rubber mallet,not a metal hammer
